You are a very well trained young man, and a great presenter! I spent my whole academic career in electronics in the late 70's. Wish you tube was around then.
Your sense/delivery of humor is so outrageously dry it gives me flippin' nosebleeds... AND I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. A+ on the high quality tutorials for us forever-novice-amatuer electricalonicsicity-tinkerers out there on the merits it has unto itself, just so you know!
A truly excellent presentation and nice trick to avoid making an inductor. EE education is 40 years old and I needed exactly what you covered here to remind me how to do this. Really appreciate your taking the effort to do this video!
I can't thank you enough for taking the time to make this video. Shunts were kinda glossed over and we had to move on (or I'd missed an assignment and was on catch up, too long ago for me to remember exactly which (probably the latter). A mystery beautifully solved after all these years.😀
A very simple concept, yet so many people new to electronics get confused by it. This is an excellent video, well presented and perfectly explained - brilliant! See guys? Electronics doesn't have to be complicated!
My father in law had a PHD in electrical engineering. He has passed away. You are now his replacement as my teacher . Thank you. Keep it up and keep breaking it down for my slowness . Thanks so much. Loved the cows. ( daisy)
I was searching how the hell a shunt resistor helps me to undestand how much current is in the circuit, I searched for hours and found only very hard to undestrand articles or unuseful videos without any pratical example. finally with your video and your pratical examples I undestood the theory. Thanks a lot!
Perfect educational video. Understood everything; not like the other shunt video I just fast forwarded as the presenter fumbled through his description. Top job. Thanks.
WELL DONE!! You have a talent for explaining things ... Thank you for taking time to make this video. Had to Subscribe and click the notification bell because look forward to future videos ... and also look forward to watching your previous videos. DIY examples for workshop equipment wonderful.
Note that commercial high amperage shunts usually have a crude dut in them that looks like it was done with a band saw. That is the calibration cut. With a known current passing through the shunt a notch is cut until the correct voltage is read across the shunt. This allows a very accurate shunt to be made with imprecise tools.
And the opposite also, which is *adding a small blob of solder,or two,* to the wire to make it less resistive (smaller resistance, more amps); we can see that, inside many multimeters on the wire that is actually the Amps shunt.
OMG YES! So I was out in the field milking cows, when I saw three of them in a configuration that reminded me of a transistor. Suddenly, I remembered and said to myself "Buggers! that's right, I need to order that circuit board for my Automatic Top Off PCB"
My instructor 42yrs ago was a really fancy guy. He used terms that were not in the book and explained everything in percentages. By the time circuit analysis class came around next semester I was totally bewildered. Thank God for Fortran. It came naturally. But here I am again. Now it's diy solar energy.
Thank you, that was a very clear explanation amongst all the “jackassery” of others making cumbersome to grasp what it is (yes I made that word) and I loved your nerdy sense of humor, it is so flat line that is what makes it funny.
Any conductor or resistor that is put in parallel with an existing resistance is shunting current around the existing resistance. So the word shunt is used in other places, too.
Just stumbled apon your channel, absolutely stoked. Your explanation of the topic is beautifully clear, very informative. Thank you mate. I'll be here more often. 👍
I have been using the dale axial 1% shunts myself, but suppliers like mouser and digikey also has higher precision ones available though they are pricey at about $10-$15 for a 0.1% precision shunt. As always - use what suits your application. There are ways to compensate for the 1% tolerance also, particularly easy if it is just an offset adjustment in software. The tolerance of the component in that case is less important than the stability of its value (i.e temperature etc.)
Also not to forget that clip lead wires also have an effect on overall circuit resistance. Again you can set the circuit up, place a multimeter accross a clip wire lead and this will give you its resistance value also. This is if the circuit requires precision current calculation, if not, then no need to bother.
I have been looking for a video like this. I've got a solar camper van setup and just purchased a 300a shunt. I am glad I now understand how it works. But how does it measure both charging and discharging??? I've got my shunt connected to the ass end of the system, last component in negative rail. Plz help! I love learning
no annoying music, clear voice and not someone who tries to just show off his skills. Why cant every educational video be like this one?
Because he ain't a typical indian youtuber
Because not everyone is from Down Under. :)

you forgot the ads
Dude… You are hilarious and a very refreshing addition to RUclips electronics community!!!

Well done!! I got nowhere watching other videos on this subject. Finally -- with this video -- I got it. Thank you!!

For people interested in the “hard-core math” for calculating the current: “voltage / ohm”
Was just about to say that.
Whoa there egg head, slow down and explain it using simpler terms
Haha yeah I was thinking that too. This was a great video, but there was no need to input that into software calculator.
Ps I'm not yelling lol😊
That was very top secret info you leaked out there bud. 😡
I've been playing with electronics all my life & still learn some cool stuff from your vids. Definitely worth my time. Thank you.
A very simple concept, yet so many people new to electronics get confused by it. This is an excellent video, well presented and perfectly explained - brilliant! See guys? Electronics doesn't have to be complicated!
Great video! Didn't know you could measure amps like this. Learned something new. Thanks!

Great video! I also appreciate the no annoying music factor and no wacky dubbing accent. I subscribed.
This was an incredible video! Thanks for posting. Clear explanations and so much knowledge packed in.
The folded-wire induction canceling trick was a new one for me. Seems easy enough to test with a good quality LCR meter. Thanks!
Love this. Not just what to do but also how it works! Relates concept to theory and practice. Bravo!
Very informative! You did a fantastic job of explaining... I especially appreciated the tip on eliminating inductance.
Really great video. You explained shunts way better than my electricity textbook. Thanks!
thanks for the clear explanation, i have never really understood shunts.

This is really a clear presentation of shunt. I enjoyed it. Thank you!
You make it so easy to understand, I will be watching more of your videos
Videos like this inspire me to learn more about electronics
I wish our science classes had content like this
Two more wishes left out of three.
You sir, earned a subscribe for concise and really simple explanation.
excellent.simply superb. if there are people like you so many students will be interested in physics ,engineering.
Wow, you do a great job explaining this stuff. Thanks!
Great presentation. Very informative and relatable material and examples.
Very clear and concise explanation and demonstration. Thanks
Excellent video. I didn’t know what a shunt was and your video explained it clearly.
Well done!
A great and entertaining explanation as usual!
Great videos Mr. Schematix.
Excellent! Loved seeing the Cows too!
Just perfect. You cannot do that better! Congrats and thanks.
Appreciate the concise explanation and demonstration. Love it.
Very good explanations, reminds me of my 100AMP schumacher 12 volt load battery tester with glowing red hot shunt.
I forgot what shunts were even for since my apprenticeship. Refreshing!
Thanks for the simple but complete explanation

second that!
Thank you very much for the great description and content!
As others already says in comments below, great video, perfect explanation.
Thank you for this, you're a great professor :)
Thanks for making such detailed tutorial s, World needs teacher like you to resolve complexity of teaching!!!

Very helpful video.
Thank you for this informative video and well-explained subject. I liked your video. Keep up the good work. Thank you again for sharing.
Excellent Vid. I thought Shunts were something magical for years.
When you get to DIY inductors, do the folded wire (induction-cancelling) trick.
great vid man. Very clear.
Very informative. Thanks for sharing.
Very good explanation
thank you for the great explanation
Thanks for explaining this to me!!
Excellent video bro.
super well explained (and funny!!)
Love your simple way of explaining... nice cows by the way
Thanks ;)
Nice information!
I have said it and I will say it again. You are top notch brother ! Thank you
Very informative video.
Thank you, that was a very clear explanation amongst all the “jackassery” of others making cumbersome to grasp what it is (yes I made that word) and I loved your nerdy sense of humor, it is so flat line that is what makes it funny.
Very cool!! Even the commercial was entertaining! :D
Very good demonstration...now subbed!
Every time he say The Word "Pretty Cool,Right" Wake me back from my Imagination😅
Cheers mate , great video

Excellent good clear instruction Thanks
Thanks! Great video.
Great video!
Good video, now i know what a shunt really is.
Great video. Thanks
so helpful thank you 🙏
This video is great!
very good. good job.
First time i know that and how my power supply calculate amps thanks , plus i like the nice 😂 math rocks
Just stumbled apon your channel, absolutely stoked. Your explanation of the topic is beautifully clear, very informative. Thank you mate. I'll be here more often. 👍
Very useful.
Thank you
Great video, 10/10, thanks for this! Learned alot :)
Great video👍
Usually I skip the sponsored ads ...... UNLESS ..... they are well thought out :)
thanks a lot! very clear
THANKS!! I understand now!
Great content. Thanks
I liked the video.
Do you have one where you build a circuit that used this with a read out display
So neat!
Great job
You’re awesome mate thanks!
